It will be so funny with the Knicks or Wizards trade the pick that becomes the next Kawhi or Jimmy Butler for the privilege of getting swept in an obliteration not seen since the Dream Team.

Yessss!!!!!! Everyone here is a basketball chaos disciple and you don’t get chaos unless you stir more random poo poo into the pot

Imagine Phoenix trading a 2033 first round unprotected pick for a playin chip because Durant and Beal started the season hurt only to get wiped out by the Houston Rockets on a last second Brooks 3

Teams should make the most gauche, ugly jerseys and court they can for the tournament because history shows that people eat that poo poo up

Yes, I have a neon lime green Atlanta jersey why do you ask

In retrospect it's even weirder that this year's City Edition jerseys are plagued by a rash of zero-effort grey designs when teams knew they'd be paired with these insane nightmare courts. If you can't have good design you can at least go for the Most design

The team that wins should get to host the (in season) final next year. Make the owners incentivize the players.

Sam presti is going to figure out a way to hoard the whole league's tradeable playoff tickets

Dec 30, 2001

The playin tournament results should generate tokens/tickets that can be redeemed for playoff spots, playin berths, second rounders like an arcade prize redemption stand

50k tickets is a number one pick in the draft. Presti going to hoard tickets like the kid trying to earn that PS5

I think it was on one of Defector's podcasts this week someone suggested all the players have to pay into the pot for the prize pool which would make it larger and let folks run on "I'm gonna win that rear end in a top hat's money" energy.

Saw that Boston played Brooklyn tonight, and they're both in the same group in the In-Season Tournament. Feel like teams in the same group shouldn't play each other outside of the tournament while the tournament is going on. "No, today's game against the Nets doesn't count, but the one in six days does"...that's nonsense to me

Always fun to see the Wolves take care of business against the teams they're supposed to. Ant almost dunked Olynyk back to Boston in I think the second quarter but he hit the front of the rim, alas.

Based on this season only, i couldn't disagree more. I've never been more pleasantly surprised by a Sixers free agent signing than I have been with Oubre. I knew his reputation and expected the worst, but he's been absolutely balling out on both ends of the floor this season. Maybe getting no real offers this year was an eye opener for him and he actually wants a contract next offseason
